5.00Patricia the tour guide was absolutely wonderful, she was bursting with enthusiasm and facts for the whole 90minutes. The cathedral mosque is stunningly beautiful and has such an interesting history. I suggest you do the tour early in the morning and spend another couple of hours looking around. I could've spent days in there.
Exceptional experience!
